Sixty-six Hearing the holy decree, Lu laughed at Liu and cried, and Tian Feng offered advice on curing rumors.
"The emperor has an order, please ask Anbei General Lu Bu to accept the order!" After a lot of hardships, Xiaohuangmen from Luoyang finally came to Youzhou.
"General Lu Bu of Chen'an North takes the order!" Lu Bu led the civil and military forces under his account to kneel down to receive the order.
"Carried by Mukden. The emperor's edict said: When the general of Anbei Lu Bu conquered the traitor Zhang Ju, he fought bravely, bravely killed the enemy, and built a capital to observe the courage of the thieves. I was very happy when I heard it, and I was given a jade belt, a South China Sea coral, fifteen pearls, thirty jade, a box of gems, and five hundred taels of gold. I hope Aiqing can quickly pacify the traitor Zhang Ju, and I am waiting for good news in Luoyang. Chin this! β
"Chen Lu Budai, more than 100,000 soldiers of the whole army, thank the emperor for his favor!" Lu Bu happily accepted the holy decree.
After Xiao Huangmen handed over the holy decree to Lu Bu, he left on his own, but he did not take out the reward mentioned in the holy decree. But Lu Bu and the others, who had just said thank you to the emperor for his favor, seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter, and they didn't mean to go to Xiaohuangmen to ask for something at all.
"Hum hum hahahaha That Liu Yu Lao'er insulted me with this rebel camp last time, and this time I will let him see if I, Lu Bu, am the master to be messed with! After Lu Bu entered the big tent, he laughed loudly.
"The lord is really wise, it only took a few hundred taels of gold and an empty promise to completely change the situation." Xu You was full of praise for Lu Bu.
"Hehe, although we didn't pay a big price, but don't forget that this time Zhang Rang used the reward given to me by the emperor, but how many treasures did he get for himself?" Lu Bu thought of the treasures in the edict just now, and he couldn't help but be envious.
It turned out that not all of the henchmen and soldiers sent out by Lu Bu went to Luoyang, except for three of those knights who were in charge of Luoyang's affairs, the rest were all responsible for spreading rumors. And after the three knights saw Zhang Rang, they only handed Zhang Rang hundreds of taels of gold, if they relied on these hundreds of taels of gold alone, they would definitely not be able to impress the well-informed eunuch Zhang Rang. And the reason why Lu Bu will work so hard to help the court is because Lu Bu promised Zhang Rang that as long as Liu Yu's affairs are completed, then all the material rewards given to him by the emperor will be given to Zhang Rang. Therefore, when Emperor Ling of Han asked him to write a letter of comfort to Lu Bu, Zhang Rang wrote all the things he wanted in the holy decree, and then took these things back to his treasure house in the name of the emperor's reward to Lu Bu and collected them, and Lu Bu was very cooperative and did not ask about those treasures after the decree.
This matter can only be used by a traverser like Lu Bu, because if Lu Bu only relies on bribes to ask others to help you wholeheartedly, it will be very difficult, because that person will not do his best or even lose his strength for an outsider. But if that person is helping you for his own benefit, then he will definitely try his best to help you wholeheartedly, after all, in the end he will get actual benefits, so he is willing to give his best.
"Hehe, I'll take a look at Liu Yu's appearance when he received the emperor's decree now, I think it must be a very interesting appearance." Lu Bu said with a smile.
Tian Feng stepped forward and said, "Anyway, Liu Yu will definitely regret his decision to insult the lord now." β
Lu Bu stood up and said, "It's not enough, it's just an appetizer, and I will let Liu Yu go down to accompany him after Emperor Han Ling dies." "The reason why Lu Bu hates Liu Yu so much, one is because Liu Yu has lost his face, and the second is because Lu Bu hates Liu Yu very much, he only knows Huairou and forbears, and even took the initiative to open Hu Shi to let Xianbei Wuheng and other vicious foreign robbers get the salt and iron that were originally very lacking to develop their tribe rapidly, and after Liu Yu's death, those foreign robbers showed their fangs and claws hidden in their shadows, and pounced on the big fat meat of the big Han and took a big bite.
Because of these reasons, Lu Bu decided to give the White Horse General Gongsun Chan a big gift when he left Youzhou, after all, Gongsun Chan, a hardliner who retaliates with blood for a tooth, is the same as Lu Bu's appetite.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: There is Liu Yu in Youzhou today, and jealousy can damage virtue. I wanted to catch Luoyang and take heavy responsibility, only because he was a relative of the Han family and was persuaded by the ministers to excuse him, so he asked him to reflect on his mistakes in Youzhou, and if he made a mistake again, he would be punished for the two crimes and would never be forgiven! Chin this! "Xiao Huangmen, who had just finished announcing his will to Lu Bu, was arrogantly announcing the decree for Liu Yu in the Youzhou Assassination Mansion.
"What! The emperor didn't punish Lu Bu, but even let me, a member of the Han family, reflect on my mistakes? What's going on? Why is this happening? How could this be" Liu Yu, who had been waiting for Emperor Han Ling to punish Lu Bu, couldn't accept the reality in front of him for a while, Liu Yu neither accepted the order nor thanked him, and the whole person collapsed to the ground in a dementia, muttering to himself.
Others may care about Liu Yu, but Xiao Huangmen, who came to deliver the message, didn't care about Liu Yu's life and death at all, all he cared about was whether this trip to Youzhou could make enough money for Liu Yu, after all, he didn't dare to ask the murderer Lu Bu for money. But as long as he can find Liu Yu for enough money, it is not in vain that he came all the way from Luoyang to Youzhou to deliver the decree.
So Xiao Huangmen saw Liu Yu fall to the ground softly, but he didn't mean to pull at all, but instead leaned up with a smile and asked, "Lord Liu, I have finished reading the will, now you should not um, you know." Xiao Huangmen gestured with his left hand and signaled that Liu Yu should give him a benefit.
But what Xiao Huangmen was waiting for was not money, but Liu Yu's pair of iron tong-like hands! Liu Yu was crazy and grabbed Xiao Huangmen's neck, and shouted with a hideous face: "It must be you, it is you eunuchs who have deceived the emperor in the court, and this will make the emperor make this judgment!" You scum, today I Liu Yu will kill you eunuchs if I give up this old life! Die to me!! β
"Help!" Xiao Huangmen was pinched and stuck out his tongue, and shouted for help with great difficulty.
"My lord! He is the person sent by the emperor to announce the decree, you can't kill him! Liu Yu can get out, but the guards next to him can't get out, they grabbed Liu Yu's hands together, and struggled to pull Liu Yu away to save the surname of Xiaohuangmen.
"Ahem! Cough! Cough! , ahem, ahem! Phew~Huh~ Liu Yu! How daring! If you dare to treat the angel (the messenger of the Son of Heaven) like this, I will never let you go! Although Xiao Huangmen said cruel things to Liu Yu, seeing Liu Yu's red eyes, Xiao Huangmen suddenly lost his courage and escaped from Youzhou Thorn Mansion.
"The emperor is so mediocre! It's so mediocre! Woo woo woo Gaozu, open your eyes and look at your country, the mediocre man is in charge, and the emperor is mediocre. This Liu family can still spend many juvenile months in the world!! Woohoo and mourn, it hurts my heart! Woo woo woo" Liu Yu couldn't help crying loudly when he thought of his sadness.
"Your Excellency, alas!" The subordinates originally wanted to persuade a few words, but when they saw Liu Yu's appearance, they could only withdraw silently, leaving Liu Yu alone in the courtyard crying and screaming.
In the months since Liu Yu played the incident where Lu Bu was reprimanded by Emperor Ling of Han, Lu Bu only took more than 100,000 tigers and wolves to practice at night in Jixian County, but he had no intention of marching at all. And every time when half of the grain was left, Lu Bu would send someone to Jixian to ask for grain and grass. The officials in charge of grain and grass in the city are all responsible for Lu Bu's grain and grass requirements, and often send some wine and meat to show favor to Lu Bu, approaching Youzhou Assassin Liu Yu fell ill on the couch as early as after that incident, and now who in Youzhou does not know that Lu Bu, who has more than 100,000 troops, is the real ruler of Youzhou.
It's noon.
"My lord, are you looking for me?" Tian Feng walked into Lu Bu's tent with a somewhat tired face.
Lu Bu was having breakfast, and when he saw Tian Feng coming, Lu Bu sent down the half-gnawed chicken leg in his hand and said, "Yuan Hao is here, I want to ask you something about you today, come and sit here." Saying this, Lu Bu handed Tian Feng a mazha and motioned for Tian Feng to sit down and talk.
"Thank you for your lordship's sitting, and if your lord has anything, just ask." Tian Feng took the Mazha handed by Lu Bu and said with a smile.
Lu Bu sighed and said, "Do you know some of the rumors that have been circulating in the army recently? β
Tian Feng's face turned solemn and said, "Does the lord already know?" I already knew about those rumors some time ago, and I originally planned to find out who spread this rumor and report it to the lord in the future, but I didn't expect this rumor to have spread to the lord, please treat Tian Feng for the crime of arbitrariness. β
Lu Bu shook his hand and said, "I have known Yuan Hao for a long time, does Yuan Hao think that I am the kind of person who likes to punish his subordinates at will?" I called you here today just to ask if you have any solution to that rumor. β
It turned out that Lu Bu had only trained his troops in the past few months but had not marched, which made those elite officers and soldiers from Luoyang can't help but have a thought: 'Doesn't his commander want to start a war with the traitor Zhang Ju?' And many people remembered that Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, accused LΓΌ Bu of collaborating with the enemy a few months ago, so a rumor spread in the camp: LΓΌ Bu actually had a private relationship with the traitor Zhang Ju, and they were planning to divide Youzhou equally. And this rumor made Lu Bu's original tens of thousands of die-hard soldiers angry, and they did not allow anyone to attack their lord Lu Bu in any way. So these days, not only are rumors flying in the camp, but there are also often fights between the sergeants of the state and the Luoyang Guards.
Tian Feng saw that Lu Bu didn't blame himself, so he immediately got up and said, "Lord, in fact, Feng has already thought about how to deal with the rumors in the army these days, that is, ask the lord to raise a large army to start a war against Zhang Ju. β
"War with Zhang Ju? Yuan Hao, you said you want me to start a war with Zhang Ju? Lu Bu asked in some surprise.
"Yes, my lord, think about it, don't those rumors say that you have colluded with Zhang Ju? If the lord blatantly led the army to fight that Zhang Ju, wouldn't the rumors be self-defeating? And the reason why I let the lord go to war with Zhang Ju has another purpose. Tian Feng sold a pass to Lu Bu.
